Cyril Ramaphosa’s interdict bid flawed and irregular, says Manyi

The Johannesburg high court will on Thursday hear President Cyril Ramaphosa’s bid to interdict former president Jacob Zuma’s case against him.
Mzwanele Manyi, Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson, alleges suspicious moves by the justice system in the matter and says it seems as if there is an unspoken rule that Zuma must never win anything.
On the eve of the ANC conference, Zuma initiated a private prosecution of Ramaphosa. The former president accused Ramaphosa of “being an accessory after the fact in the crimes committed by, among others, advocate [Billy] Downer, namely breaching the provisions of the NPA Act”.
The interdict application brought by Ramaphosa argues that the case brought by Zuma is unconstitutional and unlawful, and the president wants to be excused from appearing in the dock on January 19.
